dGenerate Films has the international rights to nearly forty independent Chinese films,[4] and they distribute them abroad mostly to educational institutions and festivals, though they also are available to a general audience. Many of them are smuggled illegally out of China, where the uncensored films are considered to be counter-government.[1]
